Dune Book Carving

This book carving is completely one of a kind. I will not repeat images. What you see are the actual pages in the book. My process is to take away pages or portions of pages. This is all done by hand...xacto blades, tweezer and my glasses.

The outside of the book is bound (glued) shut so that it is one solid piece. The cover is free to open and close.  

“Dune” holds a special place in my sci-fi heart. I lived in Saudi Arabia for two years when I was a kid. Reading Herbert’s Arrakis while in college, took me back to the desert. 

I created a desert landscape, with Arrakis’ two moons. The main quote featured in the dunes is:

”Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn to see fear’s path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

It is perfect for book lovers; especially fans of “Dune.”
